Hi Pedro - I had a very similar situation last year. My client was using a page of labels with 2 columns, 10 labels per column.

The code below prompts the user for a label no and they enter the no. of the label they want to use, ie. 1 for 10 would print in the first column, and 11-20 print in the second column. Then by adjusting the height of the report header (section1) you can push the data down to the right place.

It's a while since I wrote this and it looks like I had to create 2 reports to cater for the second column - the second report has a left margin of 11 cms.

The code does force you to open the report in design mode to adjust the report header height, so you would have to distrubute as an mdb, not mde. But it works really well.

HTH: code below - watch the wrap.

  Hello group,

  i want to make adress-labels for 1 single adress. In our hospital we use sheets of labels. Is there a way on a form when i have selected one user, to give the position on the report, where the adress on the label must be printed.

  for example

  i have a labelsheet with 6 labels. Can i make command buttons an click on the third commandbutton, so that the adress is placed on the position of label3 

  "labelsheet"

   cmd1   cmd2   cmd3
   
   cmd4   cmd5   cmd6 


  TIA

  Pedro Janssen
